to the filter. Open kitchen faucet, then press in the collar around the fitting while
pulling the tubing with your hand.

TROUBLESHOOTING
LEAKS BETWEEN THE SYSTEM HEAD ASSEMBLY AND THE FILTERS:
1. Turn off water supply to the filter and dispense water from kitchen faucet until water and airflow
stops.
2. Remove cartridge and inspect a-rings to make sure they are in place and clean.
3. Install cartridge, turn on water supply and check for leaks.
LEAKS AROUND THE FITIINGS:
1. Turn off water supply to the filter to relieve pressure.
2. While pulling the 3/8" plastic tubing with one hand, press in on the collar around the inlet and/or
outlet fitting. Check to make sure that the 3/8" plastic tubing is cut squarely and that it is not
scratched or crimped. If the 3/8" plastic tubing is unevenly cut or scratched, cut off 1 /2" to 5/8"
and re-install tubing.
3. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
LEAKS ON THE WATER SUPPLY ADAPTER CONNECTION:
1. Turn off water supply to the filter to relieve pressure.
2. Locate the water supply adapter.
• If the 3/8" plastic tubing is leaking, follow the previous steps ("Leaks around the fittings").
• If the thread between the water supply adapter and cold water line is leaking, tighten more
securely. If leaking continues, apply plumbers tape to threads and tighten.
3. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on system, turn off water supply. Call Product Support for
assistance at 1-608-849-3050.
